We may be known for weddings around here but weddings don't happen without engagements and we're big fans of celebrating every stylish step down the wedding planning aisle. And while plenty of engagement shoots may come our way, it's the unique, chic and love-filled fests that hit the home runs. Here are our favorites from 2016 - may they inspire all you newly engaged ladies and gents out there to make these memories extra special!

Not only is this hot air balloon e-shoot one of our favorites of the year, but it just may be one of the most amazing ever to grace SMP's pages. One look at these pics, and need we say more?
